Sharpitor NE submitted by SandyG on 27th Jul 2015. On foggy Dartmoor days the archaeology can somehow seem bigger. Cairn below the the stone row has clearly been the target of early explorers. (23rd March 2013).

Log Text: Car parking is available at SX 64338 59551. From here head east along the path to SX 65778 59971 then head north along the Two Moors Way to the site.
Fieldwork identified a short sinuous line of stones leading from near an irregular cluster of stones which could represent the much truncated remains of a cairn or even a stone circle. This line of stones is unlikely to be natural because there is no surface stone in the vicinity but interpretation as a stone row seems on the basis of the available evidence should be considered uncertain. The row seems rather sinuous for such a short length and there has clearly been much disturbance in the area. Future fieldwork under more sympathetic vegetation conditions may provide an opportunity for a re-interpretation.

Date Added: 7th Jan 2018

Shap Avenue submitted by AngieLake on 3rd Jun 2011. These were the most noticeable stones fringing the east side of the road, heading back towards the village after visiting Kemp Howe, that might have possibly come from the ancient monuments.

Ask permission at the farm, parking is easy at the road end as there is plenty of room. Not visible from the road from Craignure, you can only see this heading south from Salen.
Set out on a low mound, with a couple of possible kerb stones still in situ, there is one upright stone (about 1.3m tall) and one recumbent here. The 'kerb stones' may in fact be other recumbents - it's a bit hard to tell. Have a look at the photograph and make your own mind up! The stones ...
